    On a similar note: Godot VLC (<https://github.com/xiSage/godot-vlc>), because let's not pretend we don't remember the Unity terms change controversy.

    Recently added support for Linux to VLC for Unity, with full hardware decoding.It uses OpenGL rendering through GLX and EGL, with DMA-BUF texture sharing to pass video frames efficiently to Unity’s renderer.Only x86_64 is supported at this time. In the future, I will add ARM64 support as well as Vulkan.

    Can a unity dev/game dev help elucidate why you'd use vlc in unity?For cutscene playback?

    To everybody else being confused: This is about Unity the game engine, not Unity the desktop environment.

    Blocked because I don't use cookies. Ok, I've always preferred mpv anyway.
